The longer this postseason continues, the more I question the pounding our Organization gets. And it's purely perception. Let's look at a few other franchises and it becomes clear to me that Miami is far from the dysfunctional misfits of the NFL as some writers would like to paint us.
1. New York jets.
That locker room started to implode midway through the season. It came to full boil at the conclusion of the season finale and is continuing now. Sanchez is losing the respect of his players, coaches and media. The guy is in a world of hurt unless he creates some sort of Tebow like magic. Players throwing each other under the bus, cussing at the media... give me a break. Circus.. I think so. One last thought... We got flamed last year for entertaining coaches while Sparano was still hired? Didn't they just do that to Schottenheimer while hiring Sparano? Same bull**** to me.. but no-one is criticizing their organization. Perception indeed. Now there is talk about bringing in Todd Haley. Poor Tony... you deserve so much better than Ryan on one side and Haley on the other.
2. Buffalo Bills.
Everyone's darling through the first month. Toilet dwellers since. And don't sell me on career backups becoming legit starters. Fitzgerald was absolutely awful after he signed his contract. I see the same in Flynn.
3 Oakland Raiders
Does it need explaination?
4. St. Louis Rams
They were absolutely garbage last year? And they are supposed to be the better landing spot for fisher.. what a joke. They are YEARS away.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars
Mike Mularkey??? yea, good luck with that. Good hire for the new owner. Liquor sales in Jacksonville will rise by 280% next year.
6. Kansas City Chiefs
Romeo O' Romeo... Can you see their prayers being answered. Could you imagine if WE hired him? Implosion/explosion of the fan base.
So IMO we get a bum rap when it comes to media coverage and perception. I also think that fans swallow up those "opinions" as gospel and form opinions of our organization on other peoples assumptions and guesses. Could you imagine someone hating on you before even meeting you? Or hating on you based on heresy and speculation? Or by what other people have said about you. I can tell you that you would HATE it. But we're willing to throw our beloved franchise under the bus based on someone else's opinions.
Mark my words... Fisher or no Fisher, our next coach will make us a perennial playoff contender. And these rough seas will become distant memories. Every franchise has ups and downs. This is just our turn. But don't let the current media bull**** tarnish the reputation our great franchise with it's biased, and sensationalized "perceptions."
